Dual Degree Option: MSN/MHA
60 credit hours
Program Description
The MSN/MHA dual degree is designed for nurses desiring to earn a master's degree,
who have interest in nursing leadership and health care administration. The program
focuses on the business of health care with an emphasis on high quality and safe patient
care delivery and outcomes. Students will attain a broad conceptual understanding
of the health care industry and develop specific, focused administrative skills that
will help them to guide health care organizations toward greater efficiency, effectiveness
and positive patient and organizational outcomes.
Students will complete the MSN and MHA courses simultaneously, and courses are offered
in the Live Virtual format. Graduation will take place once all course requirements
for the dual degree have been completed, approximately four years. Current MSN or
MHA students who meet the admission requirements and wish to switch to the dual degree
will follow the same MSN/MHA dual degree program requirements and course schedule.
It may be possible students that switch to the dual degree who have already completed
coursework will accrue greater than the number of courses/credit hours needed to complete
the dual degree as not all courses already completed will apply to the dual degree;
the courses required for the MSN/MHA dual degree were designed per accreditation requirements.
Should a student decide to drop one of the programs, the courses completed to that
point would be transferable and count toward the single degree completion at the discretion
of the individual program.
